I often bake just a few cookies the first round and add more flour to the dough if they spread too thin.

With a mind for easy clean-up, I used only my mixer bowl to make these. Although I didn't pre-mix the dry ingredients, I did sprinkle them in slowly to ensure even distribution.

About us

We are college friends who find ourselves far away from our families in the wilds of New Mexico. Now we are growing our own families and learning all the while. Some of the things we love learning about are health and wellness, whole foods, cooking, gardening, raising our own food, and raising our kids. Jessica is a stay at home mother of four living in the north valley. Amy is a working mom of one with one more coming in November, living in the rich farmland of the valley.
